Recipe: Baked Pork Chops with Stuffing

These days, I am all about cooking things that are easy, go in the crock pot, or that I can make ahead in stages during the day as I find time. I made these pork chops last week and they were a huge success with everyone. I served them with baked butternut squash.

Baked Pork Chops with Stuffing

4 pork chops

1/2 of a large onion (or one whole medium) white or yellow, sliced

2 stalks of celery, chopped

seasoning of choice: like Seasoned Salt, Fajita Seasoning for Chicken or similar (for a more savory flavor, try rosemary or oregano)

1/4 c. water

salt and pepper to taste

1 box of pork stuffing mix

Make the stuffing mix according to the directions and set aside.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

In a greased 9×11 glass pan, place the pork chops so that they do not overlap. Season one side of the chops and then flip and season the other side. Layer the onions over the pork chops and then spread the chopped celery over the onions. Salt and pepper to taste, keeping in mind that the stuffing mix already has a fair amount of salt in it.

Pour 1/4 c. of water into the pan.

Distribute the stuffing mix so that it covers the pork chops as evenly as possible. The stuffing is very sticky so it will not be in a layer like a casserole, but more like small clumps over the chops and vegetables.

Place a sheet of foil over the dish and seal as tightly as possible.

Bake at 400 degrees for 1 hour then reduce the temperature to 300 degrees for 30 minutes.
